Two Under Two - a Journey Through Motherhood: Am I Crazy? (April 27, 2007)
Yep, you heard right. I have two kids already that is under the age of 2. And now, I am expecting #3.
Who do I have to thank for that? Well ok, there is the obvious: my husband - and of course, myself. But also the doctor that told me to wait for my first postpartum period before starting birth control. When that never showed up - after 3 months of waiting - I decided it was time to take a pregnancy test. As soon as I took the test, it was automatically positive.
My first reaction was "Oh My God!" and then the second reaction was me bursting into tears.
But I'm over it now. I will survive. I have just have to.
For now, I will just deal with my two children which sometimes becomes three (gotta count the husband). And of course, take care of myself.
It's going to be a long 9 months!

Post a CommentGod Bless you. My youngst two are 15 months apart..... I hope you are doing well
Congrats! You'll make it through. I had three kids two years apart and there were some days where I felt like I just couldn't handle another day of mommyhood--I learned to get out with other moms for dinner on those days.
congratulations!
my two are spaced almost 10 years apart in age... & it's interesting to also hear about life/parenting from the other side of the spectrum!
best wishes to you all!
Congratulations, Michelle! Having had twins when I was 19 years old, I can sympathize with having two under two. I have a feeling you will do great with three. Enjoy the little ones. They do grow up fast (my daughters are 19 years old now).
Congratulations. I am sure you will do fine. Some days may be crazy, but the love will help you to survive.
Thanks for the comments!
My sister and I are four years apart and we've just now become relatively close. I would imagine the close gaps in ages will help them stay pretty close through the years. Congrats!
Congratulations! You'll come through with flying colors, I'm sure!
Congrats and good luck. I had three children in five years. All I remember is trying to grab a bit of sleep every chance I got. They grew up close. When they were small, we lived near another family with three children the same age. One day I'd take all six. Then the other mother would take them all for a day. We did this once a week. It was easier to have all six because they paired off and entertained each other. Do cherish every moment. They don't stay little very long.
My guys are just 1 year 1 week apart. I couldn't imagine having had another one so close after!
